“There are two ways of looking at that,” Walden said. “It is a long day for him that day but he gets a good night’s sleep (Saturday) in a cool environment in Saratoga. They don’t get a whole lot of rest in the morning time because of all the activity in the barns. If he leaves in the morning and arrives at Monmouth at 8, he can get a bath and be put away. He’s going to have a good 10 hours to rest at a time when the barn area and stable area are typically quiet, anyway.”

Pletcher said Super Saver will travel back to Saratoga on Monday morning.
